World Thinking Day 2011

World Thinking Day is February 22 - a day to honor our sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. This year's theme is "girls worldwide say 'Empowering girls will change our world.'"

The five countries of focus for this year's World Thinking Day are Bolivia, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, and Yemen.

Activities reinforce the goals of Girl Scouting: discovering oneself and one's values, connecting through teamwork with other members and reaching out into the local and global communities, and taking action to improve the world.

We attended the GSNNJ World Thinking Day event and participated in these activities:

Welcome and Introduction

Global Games

Global Goodies

Flag Fun

Signing Fingers

Closing

We also participated in a food donation service project that will benefit the local community!!!
